MlChI hANE BEEN WORSE.
A Fire of My.terious origin in Zischier'-
Hall.


At 2:2S o'clock this morning an alarm of
fire was turned in from the Western engine
house. box Is. and as soon as the Western
men had pulled their box they left the house
for the fire. For some reason the alarm did
not sound correctly on the Central gong.
and the Cen,rals did not know whether to
leave their house or not.
The Westerns reached the fire. which
Main street. near Factory, and not seeing
the Centrals, On of the boys ran To box Il.
al the corner OF Main and Center streets.
and tunned in an alarm from that box.
When the Centrals received this second
alarm they were ordered out by Chief Simp-
son. although they still thought
there must be some mistake. Five minutes
had probably elapsed between the first and
second alarms. and the citizens who heard
both. supposng that it was a general alarm
for big tire. turned out by hundreds and
soon an immense crowd had assembled
near the corner of Main and Factory. The
fire was in /ischler's hall in the third story
of the building and for a few minutes had
every appearance of bad blaze. When
the tiremen reached the hail they found two
or three mattresses on fire on the floor,
blazing and smoking at lively rate. The
burning mattresses were thrown into the
street and the ire In the floor extinguished
without much damage. Ii vas all over in
five minutes after the arrival Of the fre-
men.
How the fire originated is not known
definitely. but the mattresses were either
set on fire ar caught fire accidentally from
a cigar stump or lighted match. Whether
ANYBODY was III the bali at the time of the
fire Is not known.
II might be- pertinent to Inquire what
those mattresses We're doing in public
dancing hall.

EXCORIATING THE CATHOLICS.
The Rev. j. ID. FultOn's Address Before
the Reformed Catholics.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Rev Justin ID.
Fulton in his discourse to-day before the
Reformed Catholic congregation in Ma
sonic Temple said, among other things
81 am not going to try to save the Roman
Catholics as Baptist, but as a faithful
preacher of God There is hardly Bap-
fist preacher in this country who dares
stand up and preach true Gospel, be-
cause if he dared to preach the truth on
certain points some member OF his congre-
CATION would get up and say, My business
partner is IA Catholic or My relatives are
Catholics, and you must not talk like
that This Roman Catholic church is the
most terrific power in the world to-day
Bismarck said he would not go to Canossa,
but he had to go, nevertheless. The
Roman Catholics here and elsewhere
are in peril because they have not got the
Gospel, because they believe in something
beside the Word of God They trust in
the masses, they trust in the mediation of
Mary But there is no mediator save
Christ, and no other name under Heaven
whereby they may be saved, What is the
use of saying masses for the dead If the
dead believed in Jesus before they died
they were saved, and if not they went to
hell

PRESIDENT CIEvELAN LAYING PIPE
The Secret of Dan Lamont's Visits to New
York-Elahornte machinery at WOrk.

York-Elaborate Machinery at Work.
A Washington despatch says: All the
signs indicate that from this time forward
the presidents friends will conduct an
aggressive campaign to secure his renom
ination. In this city no one is IN ignor-
ance of the object of Col. Lamont's recent
trips to New York. The endeavor to make
it appear that they were merely shopping
expeditions, causes well informed persons
to laugh. Col. Lamont is a shrewd, long
headed man. He is devoted to Mr. Cleve.
land, and is aware that second term for
the president is not likely to injure the
prospects of the Lamont family. The
lionel has been closely watching the
drift of aft airs, and perceived some months
ago that if there was not a radical change
in the presidents policy, Mr.. Cleveland
would be bowled out. SO he ran over to
New York every two or three weeks and
held many long consultations with Col
lector Dan Magone, and there are not
many brighter or ADLER politicians in the
country than Ma. one.
There is reason TO believe that that fac
ton Of the New York democracy, known
as Irving Hall, has been captured, through
the ministration of Col Lamont. Irving
Hall is the least important of the New
York factions, but if it gets noised abroad
that patronage is now to be had for the
asking, as Irving Hall has asked for it, it
Is safe to bet that Tammany Hall, and the
the county democracy will not be back
ward in asking for share. This week a
delegation from Irving Hall came over
and was received with high honor by the
president. They were accorded Il private
audience, and for over an hour the pres-
dent and the New York statesmen eX-
changed assurances of their respective
distinguished consideration.
1t is pretty well understood that the
president will take trip to the West dur
ing the summer. He has informed several
visitors that it is his intention to go there,
and he does not make such promises rash
~ Before long it is expected that he will
not as democratic q way as he
displayed in Syracuse before he was
nominated for governor, that he is
a candidate for denomination. He
has at last been brought to appreciate
the danger in which he is placed by the
Vaccinations of those anxious to rise to
power on his ruin. In brief he must play
the!politican. And that he is now dong
to the best of his ability. He is going in
to win and defeat his enemies next year,
and the friends of other candidates who
crowded off the track may as well open
their eyes to the fact. Dan Lamont and
Dan Magone are hard at work. Secretary
Whitney is putting forth all the power of
the Standard Oil company. The patron
age is to be worked for all it is worth, and
If Grover Cleveland is not renominated
for president next year, it will be because
money and the arts Of the keenest politi-
clans for once have come to naught.
